Fair Trade Fair Hong Kong 2005
 

Fair Trade Fair in Hong Kong, SAR of China,
December 13 - 15, 2005


Abstract:

On the occasion of the WTO Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong 13 – 18 December 2005, a coalition of NGOs convened the Fair Trade Fair, including a market, a symposium and a number of events like a Fair Trade Fashion Show. The Fair Trade Fair attracted a lot of attention and showed that alternatives to conventional trade do already exist.

The approach was based on the experiences which were made in 2003 in Cancún, Mexico, where a similar undertaking was a great success. The Fair Trade Fair in Hong Kong had been organised by an international steering committee, which consisted of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), USA; Equiterre, Canada, Asia Fair Trade Forum (AFTF), the Philippines, Oxfam Hong Kong and Gerster Consulting, Switzerland.

Main sponsors were the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (seco), the Canadian Government (CIDA), the World Bank, as well as other bilateral or multilateral agencies and private foundations.
